a Bargain!!
**[00:08] Tsukasa**
Oh, darling!
**[00:09] Tsukasa**
This is big! We'd better turn on the TV!
**[00:15] Tsukasa**
Wait... now that I think about it...
**[00:17] Tsukasa**
Where is the TV?
**[00:20] Nasa**
I don't have one.
**[00:21] Tsukasa**
What?! You don't have a TV?!
**[00:24] Nasa**
N-No...
**[00:26] Tsukasa**
Even though *Space Jawsnado: Maximum Mission*
is gonna be on this afternoon?!
**[00:31] Nasa**
Jaw...? U-Uh, wh-what is that?
**[00:33] Tsukasa**
It's a movie where sharks fly through
the sky and wage war in space!
**[00:38] Nasa**
Is it any good?
**[00:39] Tsukasa**
Yes, it is!
**[00:41] Nasa**
O-Oh, I see...
**[00:43] Nasa**
I don't really watch a lot of movies, so...
**[00:45] Tsukasa**
Argh!
**[00:47] Tsukasa**
Y-You've at least seen *Terminator*, right?
**[00:51] Nasa**
I don't think so...
**[00:52] Tsukasa**
What about *Star Wars*?
**[00:53] Nasa**
I know the name.
**[00:55] Nasa**
That's where they fight in space, right?
**[00:57] Tsukasa**
*The Human Centipede*?
**[00:58] Nasa**
Oh, Tsukino Mito talked
about that on the internet.
**[01:02] Nasa**
I haven't seen it, but it sounded funny.
**[01:04] Tsukasa**
What have you *done* for your entire life?
**[01:07] Nasa**
I-Is it that serious?
**[01:09] Tsukasa**
Darling, listen to me.
**[01:10] Tsukasa**
I would never get pushy about my
hobby to the point of treating
**[01:14] ---**
certain movies like they should
be part of compulsory education.
**[01:18] Nasa**
R-Right...
**[01:19] Tsukasa**
But, for example, say that a popular series
finally gets a long-awaited sequel!
**[01:26] Tsukasa**
I want to be able to share
that excitement with you!
**[01:28] Tsukasa**
The amazement at such a
miraculous, sudden occurrence!
**[01:32] Nasa**
"Huh, there was a movie like that?"
**[01:35] Tsukasa**
The thought of that kind of
reaction is just depressing to me!
**[01:38] Tsukasa**
That big of a gap in excitement
is too much for me to bear!
**[01:41] Nasa**
I... I think I understand
where you're coming from...
**[01:45] Tsukasa**
And as sweet as you are,
**[01:46] ---**
knowing that I feel this way would be enough
to make you want to check out some old movies.
**[01:54] Tsukasa**
But!
**[01:55] Tsukasa**
As simple as it might sound,
***SIGN*** Mobile Galactic Wars Gaiden Mobile Galactic Wars II
***SIGN*** Zoku Mobile Galactic Wars
**[01:57] ---**
you could end up dealing
with a massive series of titles!
***SIGN*** Mobile Galactic Wars
**[01:59] Tsukasa**
Numbered entries like "II" and
"III" need no mention,
***SIGN*** Mobile Galactic Wars Gaiden II Mobile Galactic Wars III
***SIGN*** New Mobile Galactic Wars
**[02:03] Tsukasa**
but when you include spin-offs and
stories set in the same universe,
***SIGN*** Mobile Galactic Wars Gaiden III Mobile Galactic Wars IV
***SIGN*** New Mobile Galactic Wars II
***SIGN*** Mobile Galactic Wars Gaiden IV
**[02:07] Tsukasa**
sometimes the title doesn't even indicate
where those entries originated from!
***SIGN*** Mobile Galactic Wars
The Black Hole Front
***SIGN*** Mobile Galactic Wars Kiwami
***SIGN*** Super Mobile Galactic Wars
***SIGN*** Mobile Galactic Wars Alternative
***SIGN*** Mobile Galactic Wars: A New Beginning
***SIGN*** Mobile Galactic Wars: REBIRTH
***SIGN*** Galax-on!
**[02:13] Nasa**
O-Okay...
**[02:14] Tsukasa**
And!
**[02:15] Tsukasa**
To get the most thorough
enjoyment out of a title,
**[02:17] ---**
you can't afford to skip checking
out the director's previous works!
**[02:21] Tsukasa**
You could have someone who made his
debut with a sci-fi horror B-movie...
**[02:26] Tsukasa**
before getting his big break with
a low-budget sci-fi action flick,
**[02:30] Tsukasa**
and then going on to make the
biggest movie in the world!
**[02:33] Tsukasa**
I'm saying that by taking a holistic
approach to viewing a film,
**[02:36] ---**
including the director's style and history,
**[02:38] Tsukasa**
you can enjoy a movie more fully!
**[02:40] Tsukasa**
You can't underestimate how
deep the old movie hole goes!
**[02:43] Tsukasa**
It's like stepping into a world of boundless
knowledge that stretches out forever!
**[02:48] Tsukasa**
Do you understand?!
**[02:50] Nasa**
I-I understand how strongly you feel.
**[02:53] Nasa**
*She normally seems so cool and laid back,*
**[02:56] ---**
*but Tsukasa-chan really loves movies.*
**[03:00] Char**
Hey...
**[03:02] Char**
Are we gonna go after
Tsukasa-chan and her husband?
**[03:05] Aur**
No. *Jawsnado* is airing this afternoon.
**[03:09] Chitose**
That's right. I'm sure Nee-sama
is going to be watching.
**[03:11] Chitose**
Interrupting her could get you killed.
**[03:14] Char**
Is a movie with such a sloppy
plot really any good?
**[03:17] Chitose**
You just don't get it!
**[03:17] {simultaneously}Aur**
That's part of the appeal!
**[03:24] Nasa**
There are so many choices...
**[03:27] Nasa**
Which is better, LCD or OLED?
**[03:30] Tsukasa**
Why not get the cheaper one?
**[03:32] Nasa**
Panasonic or Sony... which has better color?
**[03:37] Tsukasa**
Why not get the cheaper one?
**[03:39] Nasa**
You don't have any preferences
for the picture or sound quality?
**[03:43] Tsukasa**
Darling...
**[03:44] Tsukasa**
A good movie is good no matter
what the picture quality is!
**[03:50] Nasa**
*That sounded kind of profound.*
**[03:53] Tsukasa**
Besides, you're offering to buy a
TV that you don't need for my sake.
**[04:00] Tsukasa**
That alone makes me really happy.
**[04:07] Nasa**
*This has been a good shopping trip.*

**[05:42] Nasa**
So I told her,
***SIGN*** Men
***SIGN*** Women
**[05:44] Nasa**
"We'll share with each other,
and support each other..."
**[05:46] Nasa**
"That's the kind of couple I want us to be."
**[05:48] Nasa**
Like that!
**[05:51] Kaname**
And... then your wife laughed her head off
because that comment was so gross, or...
**[05:55] Nasa**
No, no, she didn't! She was really moved!
**[05:58] ---**
Quit trying to rewrite my precious moments!
**[06:00] Kaname**
W-Well, late or not, it's good
that you proposed to her.
**[06:05] Nasa**
I guess so.
**[06:07] Nasa**
* Although it wasn't really just*
* a proposal. I kissed her, too.*
**[06:13] Nasa**
*I had no idea that lips were so soft.*
**[06:19] Nasa**
* Oh, just thinking about*
* it has me feeling toasty!*
**[06:23] Kaname**
* Gross! It seems like Senpai has*
* achieved new heights of gross!*
**[06:28] Kaname**
But are words alone really enough?
**[06:33] Kaname**
I'm talking about rings!
**[06:36] ---**
If you're married, don't you
think you should have rings?
**[06:40] Nasa**
I'm not sure she would
want something like that...
**[06:43] Kaname**
Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-There it is!
**[06:47] Kaname**
One of the top three things that husbands
like to pretend are special about their wives!
**[06:52] Nasa**
T-Top three things?!
**[06:54] Kaname**
Number one!
**[06:56] Kaname**
"Well, y'know, I brought up the idea of
going on a trip for our anniversary..."
**[06:59] Tsukasa**
"I just get nervous at those expensive
hot springs. Let's relax at home!"
**[07:03] Kaname**
"So she doesn't really like that sort of thing!"
**[07:06] Kaname**
Number two!
**[07:08] Kaname**
"Y'know, my wife is such a good cook that
**[07:10] ---**
whenever I bring up the idea
of going out somewhere nice..."
**[07:13] Tsukasa**
"I don't really know how to appreciate
fancy food. I'll make something myself!"
**[07:16] Kaname**
"And then she just whips up something
awesome out of whatever we have!"
**[07:19] Kaname**
And number three!
**[07:21] Kaname**
"See, when it comes to name brands
and jewelry and stuff..."
**[07:24] Tsukasa**
"I don't need anything expensive like that!"
**[07:27] Kaname**
"She's just not interested!"
**[07:30] Kaname**
It's like...
**[07:31] Kaname**
Don't be so stupid!
**[07:34] Kaname**
When are you guys gonna realize
that's just your wives being nice?!
**[07:42] Kaname**
That's what I mean.
**[07:46] Tsukasa**
* I didn't think he'd be the type*
* to go in for a kiss like that.*
**[07:59] CM**
*It's the symbol of our love.*
**[08:02] CM**
*It's such a lovely diamond ring.*
**[08:05] News**
*Our next story...*
**[08:07] News**
* Three major convenience*

**[08:10] Nasa**
* I guess it's true that most girls wouldn't*
* come out and ask for an expensive ring.*

***SIGN*** °
This
is
his
personal
opinion.
**[08:16] Nasa**
But how much does a diamond
ring cost, anyway?
**[08:20] Nasa**
There's that old saying about them
costing three months' salary...
**[08:24] Tsukasa**
Sorry for the wait.
**[08:26] Nasa**
Tsukasa...chan...
**[08:31] Nasa**
* I never caught her fresh*
* out of the bath before!*
**[08:39] Tsukasa**
W-Well, let's head home.
**[08:42] Nasa**
Yeah.
**[08:45] Nasa**
Oh, I'm going to be heading
to work this afternoon.
**[08:50] Tsukasa**
You are?
**[08:51] Nasa**
I took the day off yesterday
without much warning...
**[08:54] ---**
so I should really go in today.
**[08:56] Nasa**
I'll be back by nine tonight.
**[09:01] Tsukasa**
Nine, huh?
**[09:06] Tsukasa**
Hey, darling, is that a park?
**[09:10] Nasa**
Oh, yeah.
**[09:12] Tsukasa**
You want to stop by, then?
**[09:17] Tsukasa**
What a pretty park.
**[09:19] Nasa**
And it's so quiet, with no one around.
**[09:24] Tsukasa**
Why don't you have a seat, darling?
**[09:27] Nasa**
I think I will, then.
**[09:41] Nasa**
* Wait, what is this?*
* Am I supposed to do something?*
**[09:45] Nasa**
*We're sitting together in a quiet park,
silently looking out at a lake. What* is *this?*
**[09:58] Nasa**
* Could it be she's lonely because*
* I won't be back until tonight?*
**[10:03] Nasa**
*S-S-So cute!*
**[10:06] Nasa**
* If that's true, my wife*
* is so unbelievably cute!*
**[10:35] Char**
They're smooching.
**[10:36] Aur**
Yes, they are.
**[10:38] Char**
Should we report this to Chitose-chan?
**[10:41] Aur**
I wouldn't! She'd get so mad,
the house might catch fire! Don't do it!
**[10:48] Tsukasa**
H-Honestly! It's the middle of the
day and we're outdoors, you know!
**[10:52] Nasa**
S-S-Sorry!
**[10:54] Nasa**
But... I just... thought you looked lonely.
**[10:58] Tsukasa**
I-It would've been embarrassing
if someone saw us!
**[11:01] Aur**
*Someone did see you.*
**[11:03] Char**
*Yeah, you were seen.*
**[11:05] Tsukasa**
And darling, I'm surprised by
how aggressive you can be.
**[11:09] Nasa**
I-I'm not usually!
**[11:12] Nasa**
I-It's just... when it's you... I feel that way...
**[11:18] Tsukasa**
Perv.
**[11:19] Nasa**
It's not like that! You're just
too cute, Tsukasa-chan!
**[11:24] Tsukasa**
Stop it, dummy! You're not supposed
to shout things like that!
**[11:27] Nasa**
But you're just so cute!
**[11:28] Char**
What exactly are we looking at?
**[11:31] Aur**
How should I know?
**[11:35] Nasa**
I'm going now.
**[11:37] Tsukasa**
Okay. Have a safe trip.
**[11:41] Tsukasa**
What's wrong?
**[11:43] Nasa**
Well... it's just...
**[11:45] Nasa**
You won't be gone when I get back, right?
**[11:53] Tsukasa**
If you're worried about it,
**[11:55] Tsukasa**
hurry back as soon as you can.
**[12:00] Nasa**
Okay! I'm going!
**[12:02] Tsukasa**
Have a safe trip.
**[12:15] Nasa**
*I have to say, she was so cute at the park...*
**[12:20] Nasa**
*She felt lonely because I was going to work.*
**[12:23] ---**
*That's cute enough to kill me.*
**[12:27] Nasa**
*I feel kind of bad about leaving her, though.*
**[12:31] Nasa**
*Not to mention I miss her myself.*
**[12:35] Nasa**
* If only there was some way to ease*
* that loneliness, even when we're apart...*
**[12:43] Nasa**
*Maybe that's what the ring is for?*
**[12:45] Nasa**
* Something to remind me of*
* you when you're not here.*
**[12:48] Nasa**
*Something to show you that I'm with you.*
**[12:51] Nasa**
That must be it!
**[12:53] Nasa**
That's what rings are for!
**[12:56] Nasa**
Rings that are like our
eternal love given form!
**[13:02] Nasa**
*I was sure that a miracle would happen.*
**[13:05] Nasa**
* That I'd be able to meet you again*
* after we were separated on that day.*
**[13:11] Nasa**
*So I took a bunch of service and delivery jobs.*
**[13:14] Nasa**
*Searching for you among all those people...*
**[13:20] Nasa**
* But I never found you,*
* and the lonely nights continued.*
**[13:27] Nasa**
*I was so sad for so long.*
**[13:33] Nasa**
*But now...*
**[13:41] Nasa**
*Something smells good. Is she cooking fish?*
**[13:45] Nasa**
I'm home.
**[13:46] Tsukasa**
Welcome home. I hope you
had a good day at work.
**[13:54] Nasa**
Tsukasa-chan...
**[13:55] Nasa**
Do you want an engagement ring?
**[14:00] Tsukasa**
An engagement ring?
**[14:02] Nasa**
Yeah! As the symbol of our love!
**[14:04] Nasa**
A diamond shining on your ring finger!
**[14:08] Nasa**
Our relationship shining
with our eternal love!
**[14:12] Nasa**
It's so dreamy!
**[14:14] Tsukasa**
* My husband is suddenly*
* acting very romantic.*
**[14:18] Tsukasa**
I'm not sure I need one, though.
**[14:21] Tsukasa**
We're already married, so getting
an engagement ring would be weird.
**[14:25] Nasa**
B-But what about having a diamond ring on
both our fingers to represent our love?
**[14:32] Tsukasa**
Both our fingers?
**[14:33] [SONG] Sign**
Wedding Rings
**[14:34] Tsukasa**
Darling, are you talking about wedding rings?
***SIGN*** Engagement Rings
**[14:39] Nasa**
Are wedding rings and
engagement rings different?
**[14:43] Tsukasa**
An engagement ring is the gift that's given
to the wife-to-be during the proposal.
**[14:48] ---**
That's the one that's supposed
to cost three months' salary.
**[14:52] Tsukasa**
They tend to have big diamonds
and look really gorgeous.
**[14:56] Tsukasa**
That's an engagement ring.
**[14:59] Tsukasa**
The man gives it to the woman,
so there's only one.
**[15:03] Tsukasa**
And since they tend to look flashy,
**[15:08] ---**
you usually only wear them at
parties or formal occasions.
**[15:13] Tsukasa**
Now, what you were talking
about is wedding rings.
**[15:16] Tsukasa**
Both husband and wife have one,
and they wear them on their ring fingers.
**[15:20] Tsukasa**
The designs tend to differ
for men and women,
**[15:23] ---**
but you're meant to wear them all day,
**[15:26] Tsukasa**
so simpler ones are usually preferred.
**[15:29] Nasa**
I-I see.
**[15:31] Nasa**
That means we need three rings total, between
the engagement ring and wedding rings...
**[15:36] Tsukasa**
No, no.
**[15:38] Tsukasa**
Getting an engagement ring would
be kind of weird after a proposal,
**[15:43] ---**
much less being married already.
**[15:45] Tsukasa**
And we don't really need wedding rings,
either. It'd be a waste of money.
**[15:50] Nasa**
B-B-B-B-B-B-But why?
**[15:52] Nasa**
Don't you want a symbol of
our everlasting love?
**[15:56] Tsukasa**
W-Well, the idea is definitely romantic.
**[16:00] Tsukasa**
But like I said before,
diamonds are expensive,
**[16:03] ---**
and it'd be a waste of money.
I already appreciate the sentiment.
**[16:06] Nasa**
B-But it's the symbol of our love...
**[16:10] Nasa**
Wouldn't it be best to have
diamond wedding rings
**[16:12] ---**
as the best possible embodiment of our love?
**[16:15] Tsukasa**
Y-You really want this that badly?
**[16:19] Tsukasa**
*He's not going to give up without a struggle.*
**[16:23] Tsukasa**
* And I'm pretty sure my darling*
* doesn't realize what a diamond costs.*
**[16:31] Tsukasa**
In that case, let's go to
Omotesando tomorrow.
**[16:36] Nasa**
Omotesando?
**[16:38] Tsukasa**
Yeah. The Honey Winston store in Omotesando!
**[16:53] Nasa**
I-Is this one-carat diamond
ring part of a pair?
**[16:58] Clerk**
No, that's the price for a single ring.
**[17:02] Clerk**
One-carat prices tend to
start at 3.4 million yen.
**[17:07] Clerk**
We have higher-grade pieces available.
**[17:10] ---**
Should I bring them out?
**[17:12] Nasa**
Uh, no! I think...
**[17:14] Nasa**
*T-To be honest...*
**[17:16] Nasa**
* These would be expensive even*
* if you knocked two digits off!*
**[17:21] Nasa**
Wh-Why are the diamonds here so expensive?
**[17:25] Clerk**
Sir, that is because we at Honey Winston deal
in the highest-quality diamonds on Earth!
**[17:33] Clerk**
Certainly, a lower-quality diamond
would be fine for a casual accessory...
**[17:38] Clerk**
But engagement rings and wedding rings are
irreplaceable, once-in-a-lifetime diamonds!
**[17:44] Clerk**
Can you imagine thinking this
every time you looked at yours?
**[17:49] Clerk**
"I bet there are much
nicer diamonds out there!"
**[17:53] Clerk**
But at Honey Winston,
that will not be a concern!
**[17:57] Clerk**
Because no company in the world deals
with higher-quality diamonds than us!
**[18:04] Nasa**
I-I see...
**[18:05] Nasa**
* True, it is a once-in-a-lifetime buy,*
* and I'd hate to regret it.*
**[18:09] Nasa**
*And they're expensive...*
**[18:11] Nasa**
*Expensive, but not totally out of reach!*
***SIGN*** Total Assets
**[18:14] Nasa**
*Plus...*
**[18:19] Nasa**
Uh, th-th-then... I-I'll take—
**[18:22] Tsukasa**
Let's give you a second
to calm down, darling!
**[18:26] Clerk**
Thank you for dropping by.
***SIGN*** Harappa Park
**[18:32] Tsukasa**
Darling, calm down for a second.
**[18:34] Tsukasa**
I thought seeing the prices
would get you to back down,
**[18:37] Tsukasa**
not charge in head-first.
**[18:38] Nasa**
But a diamond is
once-in-lifetime purchase!
**[18:41] ---**
And Honey Winston's are
the best in the world...
**[18:44] Tsukasa**
If you plan on buying an engagement ring and
a pair of wedding rings, that'd be three!
**[18:48] Tsukasa**
I don't know how much money you have,
**[18:49] ---**
but do you really want to
spend that much on rings?
**[18:52] Nasa**
But... the symbol of our love...
**[18:54] Tsukasa**
*He's really set on this, huh?*
**[18:57] Tsukasa**
Then let's go to Okachimachi
this time! Come on.
**[19:01] Nasa**
Okachimachi?
***SIGN*** Super Cheap
***SIGN*** Diamond Market
***SIGN*** MEGA
**[19:05] Nasa**
The one-carat diamond that was
3,600,000 yen before is 298,000 here?!
**[19:10] Clerk**
Now, that's not the nicest quality,
**[19:12] ---**
so I'm betting you can tell it's
less impressive than others.
**[19:16] Nasa**
N-Now that you mention it...
**[19:17] Clerk**
But get a load of this one!
***SIGN*** Ultimate Best Value!!
Top Recommendation!!
**[19:19] Nasa**
Oh, wow!
**[19:20] Nasa**
This one is so shiny,
and it's only 680,000 yen!
**[19:23] Nasa**
What's with this town, Tsukasa-chan?
Everything is super cheap!
**[19:26] Tsukasa**
Simmer down there, darling.
**[19:30] Tsukasa**
680,000 yen isn't actually cheap.
**[19:33] Nasa**
Huh?!
**[19:36] Nasa**
I mean, it was cheaper than Honey Winston,
**[19:39] ---**
but even I could tell the 300,000 yen
one-carat diamond was duller...
**[19:44] Nasa**
But if you go for higher quality,
the price jumps to 500,000 or 600,000!
**[19:48] Tsukasa**
Do you get it now?
Diamonds are too expensive.
**[19:51] Tsukasa**
You should use that money on something
more practical than some tiny rocks.
**[19:56] Nasa**
But if you had a ring...
**[19:59] Nasa**
I thought you'd be less lonely.
**[20:03] Tsukasa**
Less lonely?
**[20:06] Nasa**
Well, I thought that with a ring,
even if we were separated,
**[20:11] ---**
we'd have something to
remind us of each other...
**[20:14] Nasa**
So that we'd be less lonely
when we were apart.
**[20:18] Tsukasa**
*Oh, I see.*
**[20:20] Tsukasa**
*He wanted it for my sake.*
**[20:34] Tsukasa**
Thank you.
**[20:37] Tsukasa**
I love you.
***SIGN*** Super Cheap
***SIGN*** Diamond Market
**[20:40] Clerk**
These are the lowest-priced
diamond rings we have!
***SIGN*** Big Savings!!
**[20:44] Clerk**
It's 32,000 yen for the pair!
**[20:50] Nasa**
We ended up getting the
cheapest pair of rings.
**[20:53] Nasa**
Are you sure these are the
wedding rings you want?
**[20:56] Tsukasa**
Of course!
**[20:58] Tsukasa**
I mean, I'll remember today
whenever I look at this ring.
**[21:04] Tsukasa**
I'll remember how Honey Winston had you beat,
**[21:08] Tsukasa**
and how we ended up getting the
cheapest diamonds in Okachimachi.
**[21:14] Tsukasa**
And...
**[21:15] Tsukasa**
I'll remember how kind you are,
**[21:18] ---**
and how much you care about me,
every time I look at it.
**[21:24] Tsukasa**
I'm sure that'll give it a
shine that will never fade.
**[21:28] Tsukasa**
I know I won't ever forget
**[21:30] Tsukasa**
the fact that you loved me.
**[21:36] Tsukasa**
That'll stay with me.
**[21:40] Tsukasa**
Plus, 32,000 yen isn't cheap, either.
**[21:45] Nasa**
You've got a point.

**[23:30] Tsukasa**
You only need a witness to turn
in a wedding registration,
**[23:32] ---**
but you need a guarantor
when you're renting a place.
**[23:35] Nasa**
We're not going to be able to get
just any random person this time.
**[23:38] Tsukasa**
We might end up indebted to the emperor of
something-or-other if we're not careful.
**[23:41] Nasa**
Does that mean...
**[23:41] ---**
we're finally going to have
to jump *that* hurdle?!
